Well, to me it seem that some of the fuss was for nothing. Compare this old piccie and this more recent one.

It appears as if the site has been cleaned up. I wonder if it was excavated.

Whatever about the fuss, it's good to see that there are concerned residents in Carrig, FW. It does seem that it was excavated. Is it item 41 or 99 in the Arch Inventory? I guess 99, so I'm wrong about the 4 burials.

This http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/post/50693 is quite a concern though.

Indeed it is!

These sites were excavated wack back in the 50s I believe. I'm just wondering if the recent cleanup was done properly too. I shall pop by on Sunday on my way to Baltinglass Hill (weather permitting, natch!)
